Different day.....different direction........different windspeeds.......different landowner.......Launched at 1720 and set off at 18kts towards Ross on Wye, meaning a chase up the dual carriageway where we promptly lost sight of the balloon! After a cunning manouvre to high ground we spied them looking to land just South East of Ross, missed , carried on at a fair rate until finally dropping down North of Ross, at Court Gardens .......beautiful Tudor Mansion with surrounding farmland........exciting landing.......taking half a field to come to a stop!....Landowner was smashing chap, who was happy that the pilot had skillfully missed his recently planted wheat and asparagus crops!!!
